Fishing on Lake Saimaa with Old School Trolling – Fishing Group from Lithuania, July 2014

Fisherman group from Liethuania

In
early Julywe gota guest group of four fishermenfrom Lithuania.The group travelledmore than1000 kmto spend a week fishing on Lake Saimaa.
Previously theyhad visiteda couple of times the Åland Islands between Sweden
and Finland.

We
startedtheirweek offishingwith one training dayon the waters close
to our fishing cottage. This waythey learned about
the good fishing spotsand colors for
their lures. We did both soft bait spinning for perch
and pike as well as trolling for pike and walleye. During our tutorial day we
were able to catch perches and pikes. The group very much enjoyed our
picnic break on an island. During the
break wecookedcoffeeand friedvendace (specialty of Lake Saimaa)
on an open fire. The men also picked some
mushrooms from the island for a tasty evening meal which we cooked of the fish they
had caught.

The
rest of the week the Lithuanian groupfishedindependently using the two 4-meter
long motor boats of our fishing cottageand
managed toget catch daily.However,angling from the beach of our cottage didn’t prove successful due to the cold and rainy
weather. The menweren’t glad about themiserableweatherbutwere happy withthe
accommodation, as well as thearrangements
fortheir tutorial fishing day. After all they were able
to catch nice pikes, walleyes, perches and even one big ide.

These
fishermen were fishing for food and smartly they released the fish they did not
need. Great week with excellent fishermen on Lake Saimaa!
